I had to laugh today, the kitten’s couldn’t make heads or tails out of what those drops were outside the window. McKinley and Taylor were quite entertaining to watch as they chased the raindrops in the bay window.
I am so glad to see the rain! (Did I really say that?) But with the well running dry we really need the moisture.
I decided to stop interfering with Prowler and Maverick when they went at it. Although there were a few frightening days of heavy meows and growls and chasing, it seems to have dissapated now. I believe my interference was making the conflict worse. Now, they simply hiss at each other when they encounter one another a far cry from what they were doing.
Maureen called me today. Her sister is dying from cancer. The breast cancer the doctors had supposedly removed many years ago has come back with a vengenace and entered her lymph system. She is now completely bedridden the cancer has eaten the bones in her neck and gone into her chest. I didn’t know what to say, so I just listened to Maureen’s anguish and told her I was here for her if she needed me. I hate this getting older. Life catches up to all of us eventually, but the older I get, the more I become exposed to death and sorrow.
